Green groups often encourage consumption of organic meat, in an effort to minimize the well-known environ. impact of meat...but now that we know organic meat has a higher footprint, green groups should just be encouraging the consumption of less meat in general and vegetarian options! Thanks for sharing that, and for getting the word out about PriceofMeat and the petition! codymc: According to the EPA, the manure from livestock is 13 times the human population. So I think that’s a good indicator that bodily emissions are a non-factor. Methane emissions from landfills actually are higher than livestock’s (enteric fermentation) http://www.epa.gov/methane/sources.html#anthropogenic Thats an interesting study from Foodwatch.
